I would like to identify a turtle species, was found in Israel on land that is far away from water and it wont eat anything. Pet's info: Reptile | Turtle

I would love to help you identify the turtle, but it would help to have three photos (sharp) : top of carapace, bottom of carapace (belly) and from the side with the head extended (out, not hiding). It would also help to know the name of the area where it was found. It may be a Negev tortoise or one of the other two species of land tortoises: the Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise, the most common turtle in Israel and the much rarer Egyptian tortoise, a desert species.
